Hey, I thought that had to be done in a wheezing Cessna!

I guess that NOTAM came out after I left!

well, that was fun...
i decided to give it a go offline/without duenna,
just for grins.
missed the runway by a skosh,
but taxied over to it and stopped in the knick of time.
actually, plenty of time.
a nice bit of soup, just above the place,
but it cleared out rather well at about 500 feet.
